and here I thought his next move was gonna be moving McDavid

Getting a first back for that contract is laughable IMO.
I think BUF makes that deal without the 1st though. One more year of both Turris and Koskinen and 3 years of Kassian is better than 6 years of SKinner at that cap hit

Don't think EDM makes this deal based on their cap space for next year. Not a lot of money is coming off the books and Nurses' big extension kicks in. Pulj needs a new contract next year as well.

I think EDM benefits more from Turris and Koskinen's money coming off the books next season.

LOL at Edmonton adding a pick.

Skinner is owed $52M over the next 6 years.
The Edmonton players listed are owed $15M over the next 1-3 years.

Last time I checked $52M was a LOT more than $15M.

Easy GFY from Edmonton.

Holland is, as expected, running this team into the ground. This roster with barely any cap space is laughable, and the Nurse contract hasn't even set in yet LOL....awesome

But can't you see him adding the pick anyway?

I can see half this deal but not Skinner going to Edmonton - the only way Skinner gets traded is with a boat load of picks or maybe part of an Eichel trade

No. Look at the forwards Holland has been adding, Jeff Skinner doesn't fit the mold.

Holloway - 6'1, 203 - Big, versatile two-way power forward with upside.
Puljujarvi - 6'4, 201 - Owns outstanding size and terrific game-breaking talent. Skates very well
Hyman - 6'1, 211 - His skill comes along with an abundance of sandpaper and a nose for the tougher areas of the ice surface. And he’s very good defensively.
Foegele - 6'2, 198 - Owns a very projectable frame and outstanding skating acumen.
Lavoie - 6'4, 196 - A true goal-scorer, he owns tremendous size and strength, skating ability (displaying both quickness and long speed) and a powerful shot.
Perlini - 6'3, 211 - has great size and the willingness to use it to win battles. Adds toughness and grit to any lineup, but can also score goals.
Skinner - 5'11, 197 - he generally lacks upper body strength. As a result, he is not always willing (or able) to win puck battles in the trenches regularly.

One of these guys is not like the others.
